The New York Irish History Roundtable promotes interest in and research on the 300-year history of people of Irish heritage in New York City. Its purpose is to provide opportunities to exchange information, and for members to learn from each other, about the complex relationship between the Irish and New York City since the colonial period. It sponsors lectures, field trips, walking tours, special projects, graduate and undergraduate scholarships, museum exhibitions, genealogy workshops, newsletters and an annual journal, New York Irish History. The New York Irish History Roundtable is a non-denominational, non-political, registered not-for-profit corporation. Its members include both professional and amateur historians and genealogists. Membership is open to all.

An informative and entertaining account of the early Scotch-Irish settlers in New England, and more particularly Worcester, Londonderry and Kennebec Country. Many surnames of these settlers are listed, and there is more in-depth information on some of the families such as the GRAYS and YOUNGS. Also included are some excellent anecdotes, including one of a Rev. Matthew Clark of Londonderry, New England, whose death-wish in 1735 was to be carried to his grave by fellow soldiers from the 1689 Siege of Derry in Ireland!.
